Ukraine Captures Chinese Nationals Fighting for Russia
Ukrainian forces captured two Chinese nationals fighting alongside Russian troops in the Donetsk region, seizing their identification and banking information. President Zelensky stated that this incident, along with intelligence suggesting the presence of more Chinese soldiers, challenges China’s professed neutrality and commitment to peace. Ukraine summoned China’s charge d’affaires to demand an explanation, highlighting this event as further evidence of Russia’s continued aggression and the Kremlin’s broadening search for foreign fighters. Zelensky emphasized the need for international response, contrasting this situation with the reported deployment and casualties of North Korean troops fighting in the Kursk region.
